Country color

Chapter 739
Inside the house, Pingping and Zhou Zhou sat on the ground.

Zhou Zhou knelt and sat on the reed mat, thinking over and over in his mind what it meant to be married, and that the burden of a country like Zhao should be borne by a weak woman like her alone.

Zhou Zhou looked at Pingping and didn't know what to say. He seemed to feel Zhou Zhou's mood, and Pingping tried his best to smile and returned a gentle smile.

Zhou Zhou looked at Pingping and asked, "Your Highness, have you decided to go to Turkic and marry Tuli's son?"

Pingping nodded.Zhou Zhou said: "You don't have to accept it. How could the queen make such a decision? If it wasn't for your majesty to let the queen make up her mind on the Jianghuai matter, with your majesty's character, he would definitely not agree to let you marry the Turks. You see, I have already written A memorial was issued against this matter."

Zhou Zhou took the memorial that he had written just now, handed it to Pingping and said, "I am determined to report to the emperor and ask him to cancel this marriage. The reason is here. You see."

Pingping accepted the memorial after listening to it, and after reading it, he changed hands and put the memorial on the oil lamp.

The fire was quickly lit, and a corner of the letter paper was burned away. Zhou Zhou was shocked when he saw it, and quickly snatched the memorial from Pingping's hand, put it on the ground and stepped on it several times, and then extinguished the fire.

Zhou Zhou lost his temper and said angrily, "Why are you really willing to marry Turks?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Zhou couldn't bear to blame Pingping and blame others: "Outsiders say that the queen is wise, I don't think so at all. If you are her own daughter, how could she marry you to Turkic far away and suffer this kind of suffering. She really hates it."

Pingping didn't speak, he took out a letter and a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Zhou, then put his knees together and bowed to Zhou Zhou.

Zhou Zhou could see that this was the most solemn farewell ceremony, and it was only used when saying goodbye to his closest relatives.Zhou Zhou couldn't help being crazy when he saw this, but after seeing Ping Ping's long obeisance, he walked away.

"Could it be that Her Highness the Princess is interested in me?" Zhou Zhou's mind rang out.

Zhou Zhou put the brocade handkerchief in his hand, but saw that the needles and threads were densely packed.Zhou Zhou quickly opened the letter, only to find that it was written by Ping Ping himself.

Zhou Zhou has seen mediocre handwriting, her handwriting is not very good, as for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is not as good as that of a boudoir girl from a wealthy family, but for a person who cannot speak, she is not bad.

Ping Ping wrote in the letter that he had made up his mind to go to Turkic, and it was very worthwhile to exchange one woman for the two countries to eliminate the war and the people to live in peace.Although she didn't understand the truth, she still knew about Wang Qiang's trip to the fortress, so she came to say goodbye to him today. As for the brocade handkerchief, she embroidered it and kept it as a souvenir when he left.

There were only a few crosses, and Zhou Zhou didn't see much meaning from them, but he suddenly slapped his thigh and cursed: "Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou, you are so confused, Your Royal Highness is leaving soon, but you still have to pay Xin Xin wrote you this letter, which shows her position in her heart."

After learning about Pingping's intentions, Zhou Zhou immediately sat on the ground, thinking about how he should deal with Pingping's deep friendship.But do you like Her Royal Highness?Thinking back to the time when he went to Luoyang on the boat, and these days, Zhou Zhou was a little confused, but he didn't dare to really confirm this feeling.

He suddenly thought that a month ago, the person he sent to Jiangnan to visit Qiao Yuexin's news returned to tell him that Qiao Yuexin, who he had always thought about in his heart, was married, and he was sad for a long time.He thought that if he had had more courage back then and asked Qiao Yuexin if he could stay in Shandong instead of going to Jiangnan, the result might have been different today.

It's only because he hesitated for a while at that time, but now he is going to make such a mistake again, will he miss this good woman?
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou stood up excitedly and said in his heart, no matter what, what do you want to do so much, even if it is Her Royal Highness, I, Zhou Zhou, are worthy of being a sheriff.He has read a lot of poetry and books, and what he seeks for an official, but occasionally for the golden house, Yan Ruyu, so why not, first let Her Royal Highness not go to Turkic for marriage, and other things will be discussed later.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhou pushed open the door, and there were more than a dozen soldiers from the county guarding outside the door. Seeing Zhou Zhou like this, they couldn't help asking: "What's the important thing for the envoy?"

Zhou Zhou lowered his voice and said, "Don't speak loudly, these ten envoys from Youjing are robbers who intend to take the princess away."

When Zhou Zhou said this, the dozens of county soldiers were shocked, and their first reaction was to touch the knife at their waists.Zhou Zhou said: "Don't make any moves, lest you startle the snake and endanger the safety of the princess. After a while, you listen to my order and take them down!"

"And mobilize the postmen of the post station, let them obey orders, don't kill them, I will arrest them and interrogate them."

"No!" The county soldier got the order and followed it immediately.

Just a moment later, a group of more than ten people from Youjing were captured by Zhou Zhou.Zhou Zhou ignored their grievances, but ordered his subordinates to block the mouths of the county soldiers with sackcloth.

After finishing all this, Zhou Zhou walked to Pingping's house in person, knocked on the door and said, "His Royal Highness, Zhou Zhou, governor of Liaodong County, has an urgent matter to see you!"

When the door opened, all the ordinary maids in the room were shocked.

Seeing Pingping, Zhou Zhou hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the group of people just now are impostors. They pretended to be the Queen's order and came here to kidnap the princess."

"What nonsense!"

Zhou Zhou saw the female official sent by the palace to stir up trouble.Zhou Zhou closed the door to cut off the sound from outside, and there were only three of them left in the room.

Zhou Zhou further said: "Your Highness, I don't want you to get married and marry a Turkic far away, so I made such a bad move. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Pingping's eyes widened when he heard this, and the female official said angrily: "Zhou Zhou, you are so brave. As a county guard, you dare to break the law and detain the envoy of Linshuo Palace without authorization. What is your intention in doing this?"

After hearing this, Zhou Zhou said proudly, "Is it just because I, Zhou Zhou, wants to marry the princess?"

As soon as these words came out, Pingping's body trembled and he couldn't stand upright.The female officer's expression was also stunned, and it took a long time before she came to her senses, pointed at Zhou Zhou and said: "Presumptuous, presumptuous, you are too presumptuous!"

Zhou Zhou said: "My fair lady and a gentleman are so sweet, why not? Since Tuli Khan proposed to my Great Zhao on behalf of his son, why should I, Zhou Zhou, propose to His Majesty and Queen on my own behalf?"

"That's too bold. Don't you know that marriage needs the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers? What's more, my majesty is the king of a country, and the marriage needs to be appointed by his majesty and queen. How can you make such a private decision?" ?”

Zhou Zhou said with a sneer when he heard the words: "You are a good question. I dare not be so confident when I ask others this question, but the emperor, he was married to Li Yuan's daughter, and he did not hesitate to turn against Li Yuan. Dare to ask him that he is ordered by his parents?" , Is it what the matchmaker said? He can do the same, why can't I, Zhou Zhou?"

The female officer was at a loss for words when Zhou Zhou asked her.

Zhou Zhou strode up to Pingping, and saw that she lowered her head, her face was already flushed, and her little hands were tightly twisted.
Zhou Zhou made what he thought was the most manly gesture in his life, holding Ping Ping's hand.

Pingping's cheeks were even more flushed at this time, but he didn't have the slightest intention of refusing, allowing Zhou Zhou to do so.At this moment, Zhou Zhou thought, this is the so-called holding hands, don't care about it, even if the huge waves hit the sky and the mountains are crushed, he doesn't care about it.
